i 1 Arpair of upstanding arms 29, are pivoted at their lower ends to the outer ends of the bolt '20. An upstanding strap 31 is bolt:

ed at its lowerend as at 32 to the upright 8 and this strap inclines rearwardly and terminates in alinement with the upstanding ears 33', 34,0n the upper ends of thearms 29, 30. r

The inner end of the latch r0d'28 also terminates between these ears, and a single bolt 35 extendsthrough alined'apertures in the ears, the upper end ofthe strap 31 and the fposed aboutthe arm 10 intermediate its ends.

Anchoredto the sides of theloop 37 and exa outer end of the latch rod 28, whereby a rock ing bearing is provided for a latch rod 28.

On the inner end of the latch'rod'28 is'se curedby means'of the rivet 36, the upper end of a looped rod of metal 37 that, is. circumtending acrossthe opening thereoflis alatch bolt-[38, and this loop, "is adapted to slide. on the partition bar lO when it is rocked upand, down onitspivot.

. Adj acenttheouter end of the arm 10, there 1 isian upstanding latch indicated generally 3 at 39 and this latch is, formed of a ,fiatpiece of metal bent intermediate itsends to form-a transversepocket and an arcuate forward portion 41, the endlof which is anchoredjm an openingin the arm 10. 7

"Theouter endof the latch 39 is formed V withan integralbolt 42that extends through,

openings inthe arm 10 and isrigidly secured by means .of a nut- 43 on its lower end. 7 A stopanenlber is indicated generally at 44. and consists of 'aclevis bo'lt45 disposedabout the lower portion of. the arm- 1-0 andlacross the. legs; of theclevis bolt there is secured. a

' strap 46 that proj ects laterally of the arm 10.

' by the stanchion 18.

c The loop stood {that the stop member 44 may be adjust ed lengthwise of the arm 10 to fix the limit' of downward movement of the arm.

v Adjacent the outer end of the arm 10, there V is secured a spring clip 47 which the oows tail may be clipped while the cow is being milked. I

r In the operation of the rockable partition arm, it will'be understood that the armis in the down position as shown in Fig.2 ofthe,

H ,37 on the end ofthe latcharm. L 28 is adapted toslidebetween thelatch 39 and the stop member 44 and itwillbeunder- Torelease the partitions, all thatis neces say to be done, is topress upwardly on the loop 37 to move the arm-up slightly, to free the bolt 37 of the pocket LOuntil it clears the-outer faceofthe latch, whereupon the arm may be released to permit itto move downwardly under theaction of gravity and then the loop willslide inwardly on the arm until it engages the stop member 44 and this engagement of the member 5% by the loop of the machine, will hold the arm 10 in its lowered. position. v v v The present embodiment of the'invention hasbeen disclosed-in considerable'detail merel'y forthe' purpose of exemplification, since in actual-practice it attainsthe features of advantage enumerated as desirable in the. statement of the invention, and the above description. v Y 1,

It is to be understood ,thatby' 'describing in detail herein-any particular form, .structure or arrangement, it is notintendedto T 7 limit the, invention beyond the terms oflthei claim, or the requirements; of the prior art.

Having thus described my'inventiom what I claim as new 1s:

' A device of the c prising a forwardtransverse partition la longitudinal partitionbar pivotally connect-1 fed at its forward end to the said partition, "a

latch rod associatedwith the transverse pa k-.1 a tition at one end, an elongated loop-member connected at itsupperend to the-rear endof;

thelatch rod and through which thefbarj i of the loop forenga gement thereby toilimit pass es, an adjustable stoplon the barjin front,

downward. movement of thebar, said stop, consisting of U-m'ember embracing thebar, and a strap having holes thereinthrough which the ends of the limbs of the. U-mem-j ber 'pass,;witl1 nuts on the ends of the limbs for holding the strap :and UJ- member in the bar in rear of the momma bolt onthe loop for engagement withthe latchtohold the bar in raised position.

In testimony whereof I aflix signature;

clamping engagement on "the bar, alatch on [JESSE E; TYLERLf drawings. ,7 In this position the loop'37 bears against the stop-member ift and is supportedin a downwardly inclined position to provide 1 J a partition betweenfthe cows are held To a se the mm a. v to be done, is to lift upwardly on the arm of v the drawings. 7

10, all that, is necessary
